In-Home Care

24-Hour Care

Care that never leaves the house — provided by scheduled caregivers in shifts, so someone alert is always present.

A caregiver and an older man share a relaxed, warm conversation at home.

When a loved one can no longer be safely alone at any point in the day, 24-hour care provides continuous coverage without leaving home.

Coverage is delivered by a small, consistent team working in shifts. Because each caregiver arrives rested, someone alert and attentive is present at every hour — including through the night.

24-hour care is the most intensive support we offer and is often chosen instead of a move to residential care. Families choose it when the alternative is a facility, and it keeps a person in their own home with their own things.

Why It Helps

How 24-Hour Care Makes a Difference

Never alone

For a senior who cannot safely be left, continuous presence removes the entire category of risk.

Always alert

Because caregivers work in shifts, the person on duty is rested — including overnight.

An alternative to moving

Many families choose 24-hour care specifically to avoid a move into residential care.

Questions

24-Hour Care — Common Questions

24-hour care uses caregivers in shifts, so the person on duty is always awake and alert. Live-in care uses one caregiver who resides in the home and sleeps there overnight. 24-hour care suits higher night-time needs; live-in suits continuous presence with a quieter night.
